In Part 2 of this powerful series, Jeni Hott and host Dwayne Kerrigan dive deep into the mindset and mechanics behind magnetic marketing. Jeni unpacks why traditional strategies fail, how to simplify your sales funnel, and how to shift from desperation to authority in your messaging. She breaks down the types of social media posts that actually convert, explains her timeline-based client targeting strategy, and shares how to create a "content vault" that makes your marketing repeatable and scalable.
